Apply CU 7 as an update to an existing Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 installation

This part of the documentation describes how to install CU 7 if the release version of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2 is already installed. To install CU 7 in this scenario, you must use the Update wizard and complete the update process.

Step 1: Prepare for the update

We strongly recommend that you install all updates in a test or backup environment before you install them in production environments. Then validate the update against the implementation, customizations, data, and processes that are currently used in your organization.

Cumulative Update 7 Installation Guide

Microsoft Dynamics AX Before you begin, back up the business and model store databases, and make sure that you understand the time that is required for the update. Back up the database that is being updated. By backing up the database, you can roll back to a known, reliable version if you have to. In this manner, you can reduce downtime if an unexpected error occurs. For more information, see Back up and recover databases (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd362128.aspx). Schedule a time when the fewest system users, or no users, are affected. As a best practice, announce the time of the update in advance, to make sure that users are aware of the pending update and the expected downtime. By notifying all users of the time of the update, you can minimize data loss, data corruption, and loss of productivity. Make sure that the system runs in single-user mode while the update is installed, and that only the administrator is designated to perform the update. Because changes to the code can affect Application Object Server (AOS), the changes can affect users who are currently on the system. Caution: Changes to the application may require a compilation or synchronization of the application. These operations increase downtime. If your environment includes tax integration for China, you must export external invoices before you install updates. a. Click Accounts receivable > Periodic > Tax integration > Export to file. b. On the Batch tab, enter a description for the batch, and then click OK. By default, all invoices are selected.

Step 2: Install and analyze updates

When you use the Update wizard to install cumulative update 7, you can specify whether to install all or part of the update. Important: If you are updating and you plan to install the Data Import/Export Framework, we recommend that you do so during this step of the update process. If you install the Data Import/Export Framework after you run the software update checklist, you will be required to compile the application again, which can take an hour or more. For more information, see Install the Data Import/Export Framework.

Install binary updates only (for AOS, the client, components, Setup, or Retail)
Use the following procedure to install any binary update. Important: All binary updates on a computer must be updated at the same time. If more than one AOS instance is installed, all the instances must be updated. 1. 2. Browse to the location where you extracted the files for the update, and then double-click AxUpdate.exe. On the Welcome to Microsoft Dynamics AX Update Setup page, click Next.

Step 3: Restart AOS and Internet Information Services (IIS)

You must restart both AOS and IIS after the installation is completed. 1. Restart the AOS service for the instance. Note: If labels are not displayed correctly after you start the client, you likely did not restart the AOS instance. If you did restart the AOS and you are still not seeing correct labels, you may have to remove the .ald (label) files from the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Server\<instancename>\bin\Application\Appl\Standard, and then restart the AOS. 2. If Enterprise Portal for Microsoft Dynamics AX is deployed in your environment, open a Command Prompt window on the Enterprise Portal server, type iisreset, and then press ENTER. Warning: If you do not restart IIS, you receive the following message, and Enterprise Portal is not deployed to other servers if you try to redeploy: Could not load type Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal.EPSoapSecurity

Step 4: Reinitialize the model store

CU 7 contains database schema changes that require that you reinitialize the model store. You can use either Windows PowerShell or AXUtil to perform this step. The following procedure describes how to initialize the model store by using Windows PowerShell. 1. 2. On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Dynamics AX Management Shell. At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, PS C:\>, type the following command, and then press ENTER. Initialize-AXModelStore This command reinitializes the default model store. For more information, see Initialize-AXModelStore (http://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/jj720267.aspx).

Step 5: Complete the software update checklist

Before the changes to the model store that were included in the update can be fully implemented, you must complete additional tasks. The software update checklist helps you complete these tasks.

Merge code automatically

The Merge code automatically checklist item was added in cumulative update 7 for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, in hotfix 2894100 (Update checklist merge code feature). This feature simplifies see comment installing hotfixes and fixing conflicts between hotfixes and the customizations in an environment. It compares the model elements in the customization layer with the corresponding elements in the hotfix and SYS layers. Where there are differences in the code between these elements, the feature attempts to resolve the differences in a way that preserves both the customization and hotfix functionality. This is not

Cumulative Update 7 Installation Guide

11

Microsoft Dynamics AX always possible, and some conflicts will require manual effort to resolve. All changes are made in the active customization layer. When conflicts are resolved, all of the code from each layer involved in the merge appears in the customization layer with appropriate annotations. Code that the tool does not evaluate as applicable is commented, whereas code that is applicable and should be included in the result is left uncommented. This preserves the information that was used to make the merge decision so that it can be easily reviewed while still fixing compilation and functional issues in the code that resulted from hotfix installation. When conflicts cannot be resolved automatically, a TODO comment is added to the code and the code is annotated. The typical process for using this feature is: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. After installing an update, open the client in the lowest layer with customizations that you want to merge hotfix changes into. Run the software update checklist. Compile the application. Click Merge code automatically. Specify the title for the project to be created when you are prompted, and then run the tool. After the comparison has completed, a form displays the results of the merge. For changes that were merged successfully, the changes should be reviewed to make sure that they are correct. For changes that remain in conflict, the user must manually investigate and merge conflicts. 6. 7. After resolving all conflicts, compile the application again and perform whatever functional testing is required to make sure that all conflicts have been merged. Repeat for each layer that contains customizations.

Run the software update checklist

When you start the client, if you do not see the Start the software update checklist option that is mentioned in the following procedure, install hotfix KB2616405. 1. 2. 3. Start the Microsoft Dynamics AX client. When you start the client, you receive the following message: The model store has been modified. Click Start the software update checklist. Complete the items on the checklist, in the order in which they are listed.
Checklist section Upgrade preparation Option and description Restart Application Object Server We recommend that you restart the AOS instance before you start the client. However, if you did not restart the AOS instance, restart it now, and then mark this task complete. Code upgrade Compile application This option compiles X++ code for the application. Compilation can require an hour or longer.

Step 6: Update other Microsoft Dynamics AX components

After you update the core components of Microsoft Dynamics AX and complete the software update checklist, you can update other Microsoft Dynamics AX components. For information about how to update the additional components, see the following topics. Deploy updated reports to a report server (http://technet.microsoft.com/ENUS/library/hh538459.aspx) Deploy updates in a retail environment (http://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/dn305851.aspx) Deploy updates to Enterprise Portal (http://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/hh538462.aspx) Important: If Enterprise Portal is installed on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 with an Enterprise license, follow these steps in the order they are listed: a. Update to CU 7. b. Slipstream CU 7 and run Setup again to reinstall Enterprise Portal. CU 7 includes updates to Setup that enable Enterprise Portal functionality that is available only on SharePoint Server 2013. You must reinstall Enterprise Portal to be able to deploy customized Enterprise Portal artifacts. For information about slipstreaming, see Include cumulative updates and customizations in a new installation (slipstreaming) (http://technet.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/hh378076.aspx). For information about how to install Enterprise Portal, see Install Enterprise Portal (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg731804.aspx).

Step 7: Validate the update and roll it out to the production environment
After an update has been successfully installed, check the installation log to make sure that there are no error messages and warnings that can affect the operation of the system. Test the system for the following conditions: The change that was implemented by the update is working as expected. The change has not affected other areas of the system. The Microsoft Dynamics AX application as a whole is working as expected.

After the update has been tested, you must install the update in the production environment. You must install all binary and pre-processing hotfixes, but you can roll the code changes forward to the production environment by importing and exporting the model store. Use the methodology that is described in Deploying Customizations Across Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Environments (White paper) (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh292604.aspx) and How to: Export and Import a Model Store (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh433530.aspx). By exporting and importing the model store, you can avoid having to compile code in the production environment.
